Yeah, like the catholic pedophiles have any room to preach morals to anyone.

It boggles my mind that some clown priest would have the audacity to single out some person as "sinner" and refuse him or her communion. What part of this is hard to understand:

Quote

37And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

38And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

39Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

40And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

41There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

42And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

43Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

Or this:

Quote

3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

Such Church "morals" are worthless. Jesus was pretty clear:

Quote

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

A priest of all people should know better. Those who do not should be removed from their position.

I probably shouldn’t be surprised by this decision, but I am surprised–and terribly disappointed. Not only that I won’t be able to teach, but also by the way things were handled. In my view, the one place where a diversity of views should not only be tolerated but encouraged is at a university. I realize that, as a faith-based institution, Trinity has to establish some sort of boundaries in order to maintain a consistent identity, donor base, etc. But as I endeavored to demonstrate in Hellbound?, the Church has always maintained (and at times, even welcomed) a wide diversity of views on hell and all sorts of other theological issues. So why this college would slam the door in my face on what is essentially a peripheral issue–especially when I’m teaching filmmaking, not theology–is beyond me.

And Kevie was going to teach the students how to leave theistic evolutionists out of movies in a flagrantly dishonest attempt to pretend that theists are persecuted, rather than the bullshitters. Then he was expelled by theists for, ahem, not being the right sort of theist, just like those heretics, the TEs.

I hope he will give the same advice to those future Sternbergs, Dembskis, Coppedges, Gonzalezes and Freshwaters out there:

And while the temptation to castigate and scapegoat the “evil institution” is ever-present, I don’t think such feelings are warranted in this case. And they’re never a constructive way to respond in the long run anyway.[...]So I’m going to chalk this one up to experience and move on. No hard feelings.

Interesting. My comment did show on Kev's blog—rather, my pair of comments. Silly me, thinking that when a comment doesn't show up immediately, it's because it vanished into the bit-bucket, as opposed to, say, it was waiting in the moderation queue… Anyway, the spirit moved me to post a follow-up:

I apologize for leaving two substantially-identical comments. In my defense, all I can say is that the vast bulk of my blog-commenting experience is restricted to blogs that are largely unmoderated. If you wish to delete one of the two near-duplicates, and this comment as well, I'm okay with that, Kevin.

This comment, like my first pair, is currently in moderation, but given that the first pair did appear, we may presumably expect that it will not be trapped there forever.

Maybe you'll get lucky and find a copy that assembled randomly.

Just did an eBay search for expelled dvd. Right now, the least expensive result has a high bid of $0.39, plus $3.50 for shipping. Anybody who wanted to get their hands on a copy of this piece of shit without sending any money to the coffers of the deceitful weasels who created it, might want to take advantage of eBay.
